New York Jets star cornerback Sauce Gardner said golf is harder than football, debate launched on social media

New York Jets star cornerback Sauce Gardner, who was elected to the Pro Bowl team in 2023 and was awarded First Team All-Pro honors, has been setting golf Twitter on fire recently as he's started to fall in love with the game.

He's asked for advice, he's taken swing tips and on July 4th posted that he's upgraded to TaylorMade clubs.

On Wednesday, Gardner took to Twitter/X to express his feelings on the difficulty of the two games.

"Never thought I would say this, but golf is harder than football," his post read.

As you'd expect, this sparked a lively debate on social media.

Here are some of the reactions.
